Where to Farm This Set
13 bosses in Broken Isles, The Emerald Nightmare and The Nighthold drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
This area once stood as the cradle of elven civilization, centered around the ancient elven capital of Suramar, until the Sundering tore the land apart. While the power of the Nightwell preserved the city of Suramar, the surrounding lands bear the scars of that catastrophic event. But now Gul'dan has awakened the Tomb of Sargeras, and from the tauren camps in the peaks of Highmountain, to the druidic groves of Val'sharah, to vrykul settlements that dot Stormheim, the Isles live in the shadow of the Legion.
The entrance is in Val'sharah at 56.3, 36.7 (/way #641 56.3 36.7).
Broken Isles entrance
Nithogg drops 1 piece of this set (Back). Adventure Guide map pin: 29.3, 35.1 on the Temple of Kotmogu map. The great dragon Nithogg was once of the Thorignir, having left the brood shortly after they swore fealty to the titan keepers. Nithogg believed that one day he would be more powerful than even the keepers, and refused to be their subject. Instead, he took up roost in the mountain Nastrondir, where he raises his brood and terrorizes the nearby lands whenever the mood strikes him.
The Emerald Dream was created by the titans as a blueprint for Azeroth itself - a verdant and perfect mirror that reflects the state of nature had it remained unspoiled by so-called civilization. For many years, the druids and keepers who are closest to nature have noticed signs of an unsettling presence stirring within the Dream. Spurred on by the Legion and Nightmare Lord Xavius, that creeping corruption has now burst forth, and will engulf all of Azeroth if it is not rooted out at its source.
The entrance is in Val'sharah at 56.3, 36.7 (/way #641 56.3 36.7).
The Emerald Nightmare entrance
Nythendra drops 1 piece of this set (Feet). Adventure Guide map pin: 55.3, 50.2 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. Nythendra was once a member of the Green Dragonflight charged with guarding the world tree, Shaladrassil. When Xavius' corruption of the Nightmare consumed Shaladrassil, it consumed the sleeping guardian as well. Nythendra is now nothing more than a skeletal version of herself, swarming in pestilence, ready to devour anyone or anything foolish enough to enter her lair.
Elerethe Renferal drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 33.1, 61.4 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. Elerethe, once a mighty druid and adept shapeshifter, was led down a dark path by the belief that she was betrayed by her closest allies. Her consciousness now resides in the nightmare, damning her to an existence of fear, confusion, and hatred.
Dragons of Nightmare drops 1 piece of this set (Head). Adventure Guide map pin: 36.9, 47.9 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. The Emerald Dream was entrusted to Ysera for safekeeping, and the mightiest of her green dragon brood were assigned to stand watch over four portals that connected directly to Azeroth. But even before the Cataclysm, these dragons began to show signs of corruption. Now, the path to the Nightmare's core runs through the dragons' lair.
Xavius drops 1 piece of this set (Legs). Adventure Guide map pin: 48.9, 48.5 on the The Emerald Nightmare map. Once a powerful mage, and a councilor to Queen Azshara, Xavius forged a pact with Sargeras to enable the Legion's first invasion of Azeroth. Cursed and tormented in the wake of that defeat, Xavius plots vengeance against the world from within the Rift of Aln. Those who venture into the Nightmare will face the full extent of his power, and his true form - a grotesque and distended monstrosity.
The largest structure in the Broken Isles, and among the grandest in all of Azeroth, the Nighthold stands as a testament to the achievements of the nightborne civilization. Centered around the Nightwell, the fount of arcane power that has sustained Suramar for centuries, these grounds were built as a haven from the worries of the world. But as a felstorm churns above the former temple of Elune across the bay, and Gul'dan himself now resides within the palace's walls, those worries now begin, not end, here.
The entrance is in Suramar at 44.2, 59.5 (/way #680 44.2 59.5).
The Nighthold entrance
Chronomatic Anomaly drops 1 piece of this set (Hands). Adventure Guide map pin: 52.4, 47.4 on the The Nighthold map. The cavern at the base of the Nightwell is a maelstrom of raw energy, as the power to fuel an entire civilization courses from the earth. Born from this chaotic flux, the Chronomatic Anomaly is an embodiment of the power of the Eye of Aman'thul. As it lashes out with energy attacks, the bursts of energy warp the very flow of time.
Trilliax drops 2 pieces of this set (Back, Chest). Adventure Guide map pin: 41.5, 19.8 on the The Nighthold map. Trilliax, once proud servant to the nightborne aristocracy, has been discarded and left to slowly deteriorate among other surplus constructs. While an unwavering will to carry out its tasks remains, the passage of time has splintered this construct's personality matrix. It now unpredictably switches from one mode to the next, ranging from doting caretaker to homicidal sterilizer, craving recognition and validation from a master that no longer exists.
Tichondrius drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder). Adventure Guide map pin: 26.5, 63.9 on the The Nighthold map. The dreadlord Tichondrius, once leader of the nathrezim, was once slain by the newly-awakened power of none other than Illidan Stormrage. Reconstituted in the Twisting Nether, Tichondrius returns to watch over Gul'dan on behalf of the Legion, ensuring that the orc warlock does not once again fail his masters.
Krosus drops 1 piece of this set (Chest). Adventure Guide map pin: 74.2, 92.0 on the The Nighthold map. This colossal doom lord, one of the largest and mightiest creatures in the armies of the Legion, was defeated at the Broken Shore through the combined might of the greatest heroes of the Horde and the Alliance. Having recovered from his wounds, Krosus emerges from the bay between the Nighthold and the Tomb of Sargeras to crush any who would oppose the Legion.
Star Augur Etraeus drops 2 pieces of this set (Hands, Shoulder). Adventure Guide map pin: 36.9, 20.7 on the The Nighthold map. The nightborne astromancer Etraeus has devoted long years of research to scouring the skies of Azeroth, seeking answers to the great mysteries of the universe. His scrying has shown him worlds beyond our ken, and the power of the Nightwell allows him to draw upon the essence of those worlds to amplify his own powers.
Grand Magistrix Elisande drops 1 piece of this set (Head) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 46.0, 45.7 on the The Nighthold map. Elisande once distinguished herself by resisting the Legion. She and her highborne followers broke away from Queen Azshara and the dark path she was taking, harnessing the power of the Eye of Aman'thul to create the Nightwell to protect Suramar from the Sundering. But over ten thousand years later, the Legion's arrival offered her no such recourse. She has cast her lot with the demons, hoping to once again use the power of the Nightwell - albeit this time in a very different sense - to save her people.
